Mango Mousse

I have been patiently waiting for this time of the year that one of my favourite fruits has finally arrived! It’s mango season. I love the fragrance of ripen mango and its juicy sweet texture. Fortunately enough here in Australia, we have a variety of mangoes from local farms to choose from. I normally make mango with sweet sticky, however this time I'd to take a different route and try something new. Make it simple and more fun! So, mango mousse dessert it is then.

  • 2 large mangoes

  • 2 tbsp sugar powder

  • 20 g vegetable gelatin powder

  • 300 ml warm water or more

  • 400 ml thickened cream

  • 1 packet biscuit

  • A pinch of salt

How to make

  • Start by preparing the mangoes. Peel the mangoes, remove the seed, and chop the flesh into small pieces.

  • In a blender, puree the mangoes until smooth. Add 2 tbsp sugar powder and a pinch of salt to the puree and blend until well combined.

  • In a separate bowl, dissolve the vegetable gelatin powder in 300 ml of warm water. Stir until the powder is completely dissolved.

  • Pour the mango puree into a large mixing bowl. Add the dissolved gelatin mixture and stir until well combined.

  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the thickened cream until stiff peaks form.

  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mango mixture.

  • Crush the biscuits and place them in the bottom of the container you will be using to serve the mousse.

  • Pour the mango mousse mixture over the crushed biscuits.

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, until the mousse is set and firm.

  • Serve chilled and enjoy!
